Anesthesia-Sepsis-Associated Alterations in Liver Gene Expression Profiles and Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hepatic dysfunction plays a major role in adverse outcomes in sepsis. Volatile anesthetic agents may protect against organ dysfunction in the setting of critical illness and infection. The goal of this study was to study the impact of Sepsis-inflammation on hepatic subcellular energetics in animals anesthetized with both Propofol (intravenous anesthetic agent and GABA agonist) and Isoflurane (volatile anesthetic i.e., VAA). Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with Propofol or isoflurane. Rats in each group were randomized to celiotomy and closure (control) or cecal ligation and puncture "CLP" (Sepsis-inflammation) for 8 h. Results: Inflammation led to upregulation in hepatic hypoxia-inducible factor-1 in both groups. Rats anesthetized with isoflurane also exhibited increases in bcl-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) during inflammation, whereas rats anesthetized with Propofol did not. In rats anesthetized with isoflurane, decreased mRNA, protein (Complex II, IV, V), and activity levels (Complex II/III,IV,V) were identified for all components of the electron transport chain, leading to a decrease in mitochondrial ATP. In contrast, in rats anesthetized with Propofol, these changes were not identified after exposure to inflammation. RNA-Seq and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) expression analysis identified a substantial difference between groups (isoflurane vs. Propofol) in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) related gene expression following exposure to Sepsis-inflammation. Conclusions: Compared to rats anesthetized with Propofol, those anesthetized with isoflurane exhibit more oxidative stress, decreased oxidative phosphorylation protein expression, and electron transport chain activity and increased expression of organ-protective proteins.

Project description:Mitochondrial protein phosphorylation is a well-recognized metabolic control mechanism, with the classical example of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) regulation by specific kinases and phosphatases of bacterial origin. However, despite the growing number of reported mitochondrial phosphoproteins, the identity of the protein kinases mediating these phosphorylation events remains largely unknown. The detection of mitochondrial protein kinases is complicated by the low concentration of kinase relative to that of the target protein, the lack of specific antibodies, and contamination from associated, but nonmatrix, proteins. In this study, we use blue native gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) to isolate rat and porcine heart mitochondrial complexes for screening of protein kinase activity. To detect kinase activity, one-dimensional BN-PAGE gels were exposed to [γ-(32)P]ATP and then followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Dozens of mitochondrial proteins were labeled with (32)P in this setting, including all five complexes of oxidative phosphorylation and several citric acid cycle enzymes. The nearly ubiquitous (32)P protein labeling demonstrates protein kinase activity within each mitochondrial protein complex. The validity of this two-dimensional BN-PAGE method was demonstrated by detecting the known PDH kinases and phosphatases within the PDH complex band using Western blots and mass spectrometry. Surprisingly, these same approaches detected only a few additional conventional protein kinases, suggesting a major role for autophosphorylation in mitochondrial proteins. Studies on purified Complex V and creatine kinase confirmed that these proteins undergo autophosphorylation and, to a lesser degree, tenacious (32)P-metabolite association. In-gel Complex IV activity was shown to be inhibited by ATP, and partially reversed by phosphatase activity, consistent with an inhibitory role for protein phosphorylation in this complex. Collectively, this study proposes that many of the mitochondrial complexes contain an autophosphorylation mechanism, which may play a functional role in the regulation of these multiprotein units.

Project description:IntroductionInflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a multifactorial intestinal disorder but its precise etiology remains elusive. As the cells of the intestinal mucosa have high energy demands, mitochondria may play a role in IBD pathogenesis. The present study is aimed at evaluating the expression levels of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes in IBD. Material and Methods. 286 intestinal biopsy samples from the terminal ileum, ascending colon, and rectum from 124 probands (34 CD, 33 UC, and 57 controls) were stained immunohistochemically for all five OXPHOS complexes and the voltage-dependent anion-selective channel 1 protein (VDAC1 or porin). Expression levels were compared in multivariate models including disease stage (CD and UC compared to controls) and age (pediatric/adult).ResultsAnalysis of the terminal ileum of CD patients revealed a significant reduction of complex II compared to controls, and a trend to lower levels was evident for VDAC1 and the other OXPHOS complexes except complex III. A similar pattern was found in the rectum of UC patients: VDAC1, complex I, complex II, and complex IV were all significantly reduced, and complex III and V showed a trend to lower levels. Reductions were more prominent in older patients compared to pediatric patients and more marked in UC than CD.ConclusionA reduced mitochondrial mass is present in UC and CD compared to controls. This is potentially a result of alterations of mitochondrial biogenesis or mitophagy. Reductions were more pronounced in older patients compared to pediatric patients, and more prominent in UC than CD. Complex I and II are more severely compromised than the other OXPHOS complexes. This has potential therapeutic implications, since treatments boosting biogenesis or influencing mitophagy could be beneficial for IBD treatment. Additionally, substances specifically stimulating complex I activity should be tested in IBD treatment.

Project description:BackgroundTissue ATP depletion and oxidative stress have been associated with the severe outcomes of septic shock. One of the compensatory mechanisms to alleviate the sepsis-induced mitochondrial dysfunction could be the increase in oxidative phosphorylation efficiency (ATP/O). We propose to study liver mitochondrial function and oxidative stress and the regulatory mechanism of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation efficiency in an animal model of sepsis.MethodsWe induced sepsis in rats by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). Six, 24, or 36 h following CLP, we measured liver mitochondrial respiration, cytochrome c oxidase activity, and membrane permeability. We determine oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, by measuring ATP synthesis related to oxygen consumption at various exogenous ADP concentrations. Finally, we measured radical oxygen species (ROS) generation by liver mitochondria and mRNA concentrations of UCP2, biogenesis factors, and cytokines at the same end points.ResultsCLP rats presented hypotension, lactic acidosis, liver cytolysis, and upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines mRNA as compared to controls. Liver mitochondria showed a decrease in ATP synthesis and oxygen consumption at 24 h following CLP. A marked uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation appeared 36 h following CLP and was associated with a decrease in cytochrome c oxidase activity and content and ATP synthase subunit β content (slip mechanism) and an increase in mitochondrial oligomycin-insensitive respiration, but no change in mitochondrial inner membrane permeability (no leak). Upregulation of UCP2 mRNA resulted in a decrease in mitochondrial ROS generation 24 h after the onset of CLP, whereas ROS over-generation associated with slip at cytochrome c oxidase observed at 36 h was concomitant with a decrease in UCP2 mRNA expression.ConclusionsDespite a compensatory increase in mitochondrial biogenesis factors, liver mitochondrial functions remain altered after CLP. This suggests that the functional compensatory mechanisms reported in the present study (slip at cytochrome c oxidase and biogenesis factors) were not strong enough to increase oxidative phosphorylation efficiency and failed to limit liver mitochondrial ROS over-generation. These data suggest that treatments based on cytochrome c infusion could have a role in mitochondrial dysfunction and/or ROS generation associated with sepsis.
